Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 06:07, 10 January 2010

May I pick your brains?

Hi! I noticed your test page with special characters in the article name, and it seems we're both looking at the same problem. At least, when I use PILT (my version of Lupin's AVT) I have, um, certain difficulties with such articles. Did you come to a solution that I might be able to pick up? Philip Trueman (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I didn't notice that AVT had a problem, even. I made that page as a preemptive measure to test my own little script. But now that you mention it, I'll look into it (tomorrow, going to bed now). In the meantime, feel free to fill that page with profanity if you want to test your script. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 13:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what that script is intended to do. At a guess, the idea is that when a rollback (in a new window) completes, it'll switch to the user talk page of the vandal, and then add the warning. Yes? Fair enough. In PILT I'm taking a different approach. Now I've got Ajax rollback working, I don't have a rollback window. The long term plan is to intercept my rollbacks in the edit stream (I already do that bit), and use them to trigger talk page opening, or even automagical creation of the warning. Philip Trueman (talk) 12:18, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Yep, that's pretty close to what it does. The "vanarticle" parameter is used by both Twinkle and Friendly, which I use to issue the actual warnings. I took a closer look at your PILT tool and I think I'll try it out tomorrow. To answer your original question, I've found that Lupin's tool is not using EncodeURIComponent() in a lot of places where it should be. See for all the places I've found so far, but I don't think I've found them all yet. It looks like PILT is doing the same thing. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 12:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Really me!

Yes, it's really me. See the discussion above. I will request unblock from the other account because I don't want to post my IP address here. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:56, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

{{adminhelp}} I'm currently autoblocked. The autoblock template won't format correctly unless I put in my IP address, and I'm not going to do that. The account that got me autoblocked is User:Suffusion of Yellow&more?, which I created to check if Lupin's recent2.js correctly parses usernames which contain special characters (see the discussion above). I was trying to find the correct template to use for alternate accounts when User:NawlinWiki blocked the alternate account for impersonating me (which I appreciate, by the way!). I posted an unblock request from the other account, and User:Daniel Case put it on hold. I'm not sure that he realizes that this account is autoblocked. I don't know if it's possible to un-auto-block an account without knowing its IP address. If not, please decline this request and I'll take a 24-hour wikibreak. :-)Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 05:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

is your autoblock. Tim Song (talk) 05:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the autoblock. Keegan (talk) 06:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't know that number could be used to unblock. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 06:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't mean to stomp on your edit, you just managed to do the same thing I was trying to do (you just seem to type quicker than I do). I just overwrote yours as I had added some of the awards he won. Vulture19 (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem, such things happen. Your edit added more info than mine anyway, so it's all for good. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:16, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Admirable

If this is incorrectly formatted or in the wrong place, please forgive. This time, I am not aiming for mischief.

I'm actually a bit fascinated by the regenerative power wiki articles seem to have thanks to those like yourself. I'm wondering if you are paid to do this, or if there are just so many devoted users out there that a happy balance is had.

I maliciously edited (vandalized) two articles tonight and found them both QUICKLY restored and a warning given. I did it because certain referenced people's actions highly offended me, so I meant to vilely slander them as I deemed they deserved all the retribution the world could give. I still believe the latter.

But I also believe in the beauty of truth and accuracy, and I am glad to know my childish efforts have been thwarted. It's good to know that we can count on wikipedia and it's loyal users to protect truth and nurture it.

So... thanks, I guess.

Again, if this is in the wrong place, please, my apologies. Unfortunately, it was not obvious how/where to leave you a message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.240.121 (talk) 06:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate Image on User Page of Man Ejaculating on Women's Face...

Suffusion of Yellow, Administrators on English Misplaced Pages are allowing this image to stay on your User Page, Or have they "warned" you? To me it looks like inappropriate for little kids to see that sort of thing... and yes Anyone can use WP. Thank You. --Huik01 (talk) 08:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Ohhhh my god, stupid me again sorry Yellow damn IP did it. --Huik01 (talk) 08:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I thought you'd figure it out. I added a request to have this image and another one added to the bad image list, so both will only show up in the appropriate articles. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 08:20, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

The user named Zoogom has received 3 warnings of vandalism already and very recently he/she vandalized the article Mexicans by deleting a section and typing in a goof note in it's place, you can see this for yourself in the history of the article. This person appears to just be here for the sole purpose of causing disruption. Just letting you know since I saw that you gave him a final warning on his page.Ocelotl10293 (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Paradox Valley

On January 6, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Paradox Valley, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
